For the record, the "fix" had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with Lady Gaga's potential full-frontal dudity.

Palin wants Rahm Emanuel fired for using the word retarded:

I'm not a big fan of the word...I especially hate it when I hear teenagers use it constantly...but having him fired is a little too much.

We're already at a point in society where the word "special" is being used in a derogatory way. The collapse of society may not come from a nuclear attack, or even financial... but from it's inability to communicate effectively.

Handing this raving psychopath the presidency would be a disaster of epic proportions.

Re: Is Sarah Palin going to be our next President?
There's gotta be a statute of limitations or something for words that were not offensive but later deemed politically incorrect. Words like "retarded" and "crippled" when used back in the day weren't intended to offend or demean. But at some point they became politically incorrect and replaced with "special" and "differently abled".

Calling Rahm to resign or be fired over such a statement is very Palinesque. It's about as deep as her commentary runs, I'm afraid.

I knew somebody would break out that response, but then what they did would have to be essentially the same for The Other Party Did It First/Worse response to make any sense, and I was saying it wasn't. It's hardly a scandal.

It's not like he said out on camera for the news media.
If he was to get fired for this it's like where is our freedon of speech?

<i>Mod note: Generalization removed</i>
Edit: You removed the entire post completely, not the single line that could have been considered generalization.
What I posted was that Mrs. Palin said during her speech at the Tea Party convention:
"America is ready for another revolution and you are a part of this,"
If that isn't inciting violence and division in the US, I don't know what is.
